THE DANISH Government Has Announced Plans To Ban The Use Of Social Media For Children Under 15 Years Old. Parents Will Still Be Allowed To Give Special Permission For Teenagers Aged 13 And Above To Use Some Platforms.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen Recently Called For Stricter Limits On Social Media To Protect Young People’s Mental Health. She Said Too Much Online Activity Can Harm Children’s Well-Being.
Digital Minister Caroline Stage Olsen Said, “These Platforms Grow By Stealing Our Children’s Time, Childhood, And Happiness — And Now We Are Setting Limits.” Many Lawmakers Have Already Expressed Support For The New Rule Before The Official Vote.
